Is dead creature in Texas a Chupacabra?

I think if it were a dog a more likely suspect would probably be the Mexican Hairless dog. It resembles the Chinese crested, but it's bigger. (Some
breeders suspect that the Chinese crested is a cross between the Mexican Hairless and Chihuahua.) Because the Mexican Hairless is bigger - better
fitting the above animals - and more likely to be (running free) in this area thus makes it a better candidate.

i dont care what you
say-----------------------------------------------------------------------------mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm---mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmthat looks like some
good eating------if you like mangey coyote...poor wiley

I witnessed A coyote with mange between Plano and Allen Tx. Many others witnessed it as well as it stood on top of a recently mowed bank and watched
traffic. This was last week off of W. Exchange parkway just north of Twin Creeks Golf Club. The mange stricken coyote was on the north side of the
street.

Hmmm... Some DNA results from the Elmendorf Creature showed that the beast was in fact a
Coyote (add some mange for good measure), but some people weren't happy with the DNA results...

"Funny" how these beasts pop up during the hottest time of the year - mange season.

hey people look at the legs look how the back legs are longer great for jumping right just like all the tales about an animal that can jump 20 yards
and for those of you who are saying it can't be a chupacabra because it doesn't match any known description uh yes it does small animal with big
"fangs" that drinks the blood of chickens it seems that all of the places they pop up peoples chickens were dissapearing wow yeah i know you're
confused it happens when you get OWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!

maybe that alleged picture of a young sasquatch is actually a chupacabra. Or maybe chupacabras are young juvenile delinquent sasquatches with mange;
that's why they were driven out from their families because mange is catching.

Ok. Are we supposed to be idiots? This looks nothing like a coyote. This has to be the most ridiculous set of events I have ever heard of. I would buy
it was some sort of weird dog, but a coyote? Oh wait, and the hair fell out too. Why? Anyway, am I the only one who thinks this is silly?

Phylis Canion, who found the dead animal, isn't through seeking answers. She didn't all the answers she wanted from Michael Forstner, Texas State
University biologist,

"What you didn't hear is that he said it could be a new family within the coyote species," said Canion, showing a chart illustrating exactly
where the animal falls among the DNA makeup of similar animals. "He said it was most similar to this coyote, which is the key. Similar. But this is
still not the same line. It did not exactly match any of them.

"Within this family, there could be a new group that takes on a different behavior. They could suck blood out of a chicken. So what is it? It's
similar to a coyote, and perhaps it's a different family of coyote," said Canion. "We're not saying this is some new species, just a new
family."

The Victoria, TX paper ran an article today recapping the KENS-5 TV news report last night and contains information not mentioned in the new cast. I
had heard what I thought was 'almost an exact match' to a coyote.

Ms. Canion states there is a live one still around her property and she is now trying to trap it. This is getting more interesting. A live one might
just be the ticket.

Am I the only person who thought chupachabras was some type of Reptilian creature? All the eyewitness accounts and sketches I have seen and
remember, showed an animal with wings, claws and spikes down its back. Also, the witnesses always insist that the creature had glowing red eyes, and
could leap very high/possible fly..? I never heard accounts of a mammalian animal, it always was very reptilian.
